As long as they hire other people to do the slaughtering. I don't see these people doing that much work.

Kev opening up his am hole would kill them all instantly making perfect steaks

Two problems with that First no one on the ranch has the strength to open the forbidden portal and two every one in a five mile radius would die of super aids

 

[White Devil]

I'm pretty sure the taint of that smell would never leave the meat, rendering it inedible, just like the amhole.

They just need alpaca steaks to become the newest "exotic" meat fad and they'll be able to cash out the entire herd.

I know a farm that manages to sell some of their boar meat and one of the selling points is the they're the only ones in the state, a dubious claim, who sell it. The meat is just a bit gamier than regular pork and yuppies want to eat not traditional meat to seem worldly. The price of unpopular cuts that farmers generally eat have risen dramatically in my region over recent years. Gone are the days of cheap chicken feet, cow tongue, liver, etc.

I would pay good money to see their first slaughter if they decided to do it themselves. It will undoubtedly be terribly cruel for the animal, but hopefully it would be funny as well.

Quick question given how uncultured I am regarding the different meats but isn't Boar meat and Alpaca meat full of parasites and bacterias ?

I don't know about alpaca meat, but boar in this context just means the male pigs raised on a farm. If your talking about wild boar, then they may. I don't live in an area with invasive wild pigs an don't don't know much about them. They're hunted enough for meat that they can't be any more dangerous than other game animals. It's important to examine game while you're processing it. For example, we always crack open the skull of deer even if we're not going to use the brain for tanning to look for chronic wasting disease because it's been confirmed in surrounding areas. Basically it's mad cow disease for deer. Last year we found a brain worm in one of them and notified the state. It's important to keep track of these diseases and parasites.

I always cook game I don't process myself more thoroughly than what I process just in case.

They’ll have a firing squad. That’s all I can imagine.

Someone's gotta answer the real questions while this thread's sat around discussing guns

Here is an article going into it. when-the-great-alpaca-bubble-burst.

TLDR- They were never profitable other then as a tax shelter, or a pyramid scheme. Speculative market for fiber kept people buying them, or as a way to count as a small farm and dodge income tax.

The lack of imports meant a kind of pyramid scheme with breeding more alpacas to sell to people who wanted in, who would them breed more alpacas to sell to suckers. Someone published an article about how it was all a bubble, which caused it to burst.

Worth noting that this isn't recent, as the bubble burst back in 2006.

This led to me looking up alpacas on Wikipedia and I thought this was interesting (emphasis mine):

It is possible to raise up to 25 alpacas per hectare (10 alpacas per acre), as they have a designated area for waste products and keep their eating area away from their waste area. However, this ratio differs from country to country and is highly dependent on the quality of pasture available (in many desert locations it is generally only possible to run one to three animals per acre due to lack of suitable vegetation)

 

[Coccxys]

I would love to see the books (as if anyone is doing the books on the ranch) to see how much of a deficit those alpacas are. The food alone (albeit meagre rations) must far out weight the income they bring in.

I wonder if that's the master plan with the franchise, "oh yes we'll cosign your loan to buy the ranch and amplify your ebegging and all you need to do is take some of these money pits wonderfully queer animals off our hands (for a nominal fee)."

Alpacas are the farming equivalent of one of those cursed items that you can only give away to get rid of the curse but finding someone willing to accept it is near impossible.

You're making the rookie error of assuming the alpacas are their source of income. Their real source of income is gibs off the back of totally true and honest Earl Attacks. The alpacas are just queer uwu set dressing.

to be honest, the Alpacas are there to keep the Feds off their backs from them just being a militia

Implying they have that level of logic.
That's a good idea, i'm actually surprised it hasn't evolved into a religious cult yet.

Troonism IS a cult. Don't call it a religion or their r/atheism side will show up

They already let J on the property.
